Say Yes to the Dress: Dancing Around Dress Decisions

This is actually the first time that I've blogged on this show!  This is one of the shows that I listed as "enjoying", but never actually written a review on it!! 

Say Yes to the Dress is a "reality show" on TLC.  It has a pretty simple concept:  Brides to be come in to Kleinfeld Bridal located in Manhattan to make the consultant's lives a living hell while they try on dress after dress after dress.  There usually is some sort of entourage that tags along; Mothers, mothers-in-law (to be), sisters, step-sisters, cousins, soon to be sisters-in-law, fathers and even fiance's.  (side note: fiances shouldn't be allowed.  I know it's a little old-fashioned, but you know, all the mystery and surprise is gone)  Normally, when you have such a group...it turns into a major free for all!!

Last night I kicked back and watched even though it was a repeat and even though it was an episode that left me feeling very hostile....ME....toward of the bridezillas!! 

Bernadette is one of those super-picky people... I can understand being a somewhat fussy, but this girl was just majorly pathetic!  Normally, the consultants will see down the BTB and ask them the first few general questions:
1. What is your price range?
2. What kind of dress do you like?
Both very crucial questions!

Instead of telling consultant Sara what kind of dress she was thinking about, Bernadette she just rattled off a major list of things she DIDN'T "like"!

• No big ball gowns
• No lace
• No pick up skirts
• No separate pieces
• Nothing heavy
• No Belts
• Nothing plain
• No satin (too 'heavy')
• No wide seams

Annoyed yet?

So, Sarah bustled around the store grabbing a few  presses that DIDN'T include any of the aforementioned "no-nos".  Well, there were some, but that was discovered as each dress was carried through the door!

Sarah grabbed Randy, the fashion director and let him know, "Look, there's a crazy girl in dressing room 3.  She claims she's here looking for a dress, but I think they just let her out of the OC unit for the day...please for the love of Vera Wang HELP!!"

Randy stepped in & said, "Listen here brat!!  Stop messing around and tell me what you're looking for!!" Does she give a clear answer? NooooOOOOooooo!!  One thing I really like about Randy.....he's a sneaky little devil!!  (I wonder if he's the baby of the family...he  has those traits.)

Randy: "How much are you planning on spending?"
Psycho Burnatette: "$5,ooo"

*Randy sneaks over to the mother

Randy: "How much are you planning on spending?"
Mother who is paying for the dress: "$3,000"

Randy...who had the stealth and uncanny deduction of Sherlock Holmes was able to pry out of the mother/daughter dynamic duo that there was ALREADY a dress... that was purchased...for UNDER $1,000. 

I"m wondering if she actually had a fiancee or if she was looking...  just like finding out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-pop...the world may never know....
